I'd like to know who you consider to be "most other retailers", because Pricewatch is listing "most other retailers" to be selling the OEM AXP2600+ for a <i>lot</i> less than $256.

Yeah. Newegg's AXP2600+ is pretty high still too. Googlegear's price is incredibly lower for a change. Usually Newegg is so much more on the ball.
